Tenant wants storm door replaced immediately
Hi all. I am a relatively new landlord and have a question. The storm door is jammed on one of my rentals and will not open at all. The tenant wants this replaced immediately (I also know that they wanted a new storm door as it was old). The tenant took the screen out and needs to use a credit card to unlock the front door, since the storm door frame is in the way of the front door keyhole. Since he was making it such an urgent issue, I mentioned that I will come tonight and remove the screen door entirely to solve the problem and fix/replace in the next few days. He wants a new storm door immediately and was not okay with that. My question is: does a storm door need to be replaced if it was there when the tenant moved in? If so, how long do you have to replace it? Thanks in advance!
